[ Episode 33 ]
You don't use a knife to do that.
Gently crack it.
The claw comes out without any damage.
It has to shine.
Hyungnim, it took you a minute to make one.
You have 15 minutes remaining.
You have 24 lobsters remaining.
You can't take a minute for one lobster.
Either you help me or...
lobster has to take off its shell by itself.
Those are not the options.
My hands...
have to...
move faster, right?
- Hey, you bastards! - Go away!
Geok Jung said he's on his way! Where is he?
Oh, mister! Please stop here!
- Hey, let go! - Don't you dare!
Stop, you bastards!
Move the car! Move it!
Go, hurry!
Just go! Hurry!
Miss, let's leave it to Geok Jung and let's go.
911? This is the basement of Giant Hotel's parking lot...
You must feel so weak. How can you be so cowardly?
Who are you? Huh?
Who sent you?
I hate myself for debating
if I should come or not till the very last minute.
What if he didn't finish shelling the lobsters?
What do we do?
The plates should be empty, but there are leftovers.
The white plates, the garlic lobster.
They received a total of 75 spoons.
The black plates, the apple smoke lobster.
They received a total of 25 spoons.
75:25. The winner of the first round
is Hwa Ryong Jum Jung.
Both sides, please prepare for the next round.
For the second round,
I chose pork belly
for the main ingredient.
We just need to get 76 spoons.
No problem.
Our menu is
going to bring out the sweetness of the pork with salt alone.
It's called salt mountain grilled pork belly.
Our menu is the pork belly enjoyed by Su Dongpo.
Pyramid Dongpayuk.
As was before, you have one hour to compete.
Start the fire.
To bring out the smooth texture,
we're using the method to shave the
hair without damaging the skin.
To burn the hair and the skin at the same time
and only use the smooth and soft meat.
This is a better method.
Sae Woo.
- Please wash until you can see the inner flesh. - Yes, Chef.
Knife handler.
Width and length, 10 cm. As if you're peeling an apple with three-millimeter thickness.
It's possible, right?
Are you talking about turning peeling method? No problem.
How many minutes have passed?
We submerged in salt water. How about we skip the wine bath, Chef?
Skipping a process will alter the taste.
Man! Skip the second and the third steps of wine bath.
Go into the drying process!
- Here it is. - Yes.
Sae Woo, make this into cubes.
- These have to be squares and make it tight, okay? - Yes, Chef.
Hurry, fan it. Hurry.
Great.
- Where's the salt? - Salt...
- Ah, man! - Salt!
This...
still has the gamy smell.
Who do you think you are?
- Hurry, we don't have time! - Yes.
More salt.
Sae Woo, bring the bok choy.
Yes, Chef.
- The leaves stay fresh, and the head has to be crunchy. - Right.
Chef, we're running out of time.
We don't have time. Let's decide on the plates. Rock-paper-scissors!
Ah, man.
- Bring the round plates. - Yes, Chef.
Hurry!
- Put them on this side. - Yes, Chef.
We have 20 minutes remaining.
What are you doing? Hurry.
Hey, hey.... you...
It's easy when I think of them as a dough. Hey, come. I'll make you into a dough.
Stop!
Come out.
What are you doing?
Oh, Maeng Dal!
Why are you here at this time?
You snake... bastard!
Hey, you son of a b****!
- Stop! - Run away!
Get them! Get that bastard!
This is salt mountain grilled pork belly.
Salt mountain grilled pork belly?
This is unique.
For this round,
the chefs from each side
will assist in serving the guests.
Please place a spoon on a plate
that you enjoyed more.
The name of this dish is called Pyramid Dongpayuk.
It has an appetizing appearance and
is fun to eat one layer at a time.
We removed oil from the pork belly.
Then wrapped it in traditional Chinese dried pepper.
Please enjoy in fragrant bok choy.
Pretty good.
The name of this dish is called
salt mountain grilled pork belly.
We prepared pork with care
taking away the gamy smell
by baking it as a whole in
the best natural sea salt.
A dish made by a chef who knows how to bring out the
flavor of the meat only using salt.
Lastly, I'll use fire to take out the
unpleasant smell of the salt.
Ma'am, I'm here to make the dish right for you.
I was only trying to help!
The fight was because of a misunderstanding.
Don't lie, you snake.
Hello, detective.
How dare you flicker your tongue?
Do you think this is the end?
I don't know about that.
But I think you're done for sure.
- Thank you. - Alright then.
- No, no... - Come.
Geez!
Hey, let's go.
Tongs.
Please enjoy each bite with the
sliced side with crispiness.
Please enjoy.
Eat with this.
The other dish is more delicious this time, too.
What do we do?
Please enjoy.
This dish looks esthetically pleasing.
It's a work of art more than cuisine.
Thank you.
The meat already melted in my mouth and disappeared.
I want more.
The meat is so tender, it's melting.
But...
the deep sweetness of the meat
permeated in the dry pepper
enhancing the texture when I chew.
The crunchiness of the bok choy aftertaste
is refreshing in my mouth.
Never had anything like this before. Wow.
This is really thin and soft.
But is there a reason why you pile up the meat like this?
I'm sure it's not only because of the esthetics.
It's to keep the meat warm.
If the meat is thin, it'll cool too quickly and harden.
If it's layered like this,
you'd be able to enjoy the warm and soft meat while you eat.
Of course.
Director, I haven't seen you since the banquet.
I'll make it even more delicious especially for you.
Director, what's wrong?
You brought out the sweetness only using salt.
And that's amazing.
But seems like you failed in taking away all the gaminess of the pork.
The more I chew, I taste the gaminess more...
I'm sorry. I have a very sensitive palate.
- Wok handler Maeng. - Yes, Chef.
Did you soak it enough in the salted water?
Of course, Chef.
- Taste it. - Excuse me?
Ah, yes.
Excuse me.
Ch... ef. Chef...
You told us to give just one wine bath.
Isn't it because of the skipped process?
I said that it was gamy.
We'll count the spoons.
So, we have to get more than 75 spoons.
It looks like we'll be able to.
Then what will happen?
Why is your private loan company's name is "Light and Shadow?"
It means if you owe us,
we'll follow you like a shadow to get
our money back.
I'll open up a restaurant there.
I'll bring all the guests from the Giant Hotel.
All the dishes I developed and sold for 100,000 won...
I'll charge one-tenth of that using the same ingredients with the same skills.
I'll make sure no one goes to the Giant Hotel.
I'll revenge.
You promised that you'd teach your skills
to my boys thoroughly and kindly.
You promised.
I wish for the people I love
to stay with me.
I rolled the dice.
Would Nietzsche...
be on our side?
Nietzsche probably isn't on anyone's side.
It's important...
that you rolled the dice trusting me.
The Hungry Wok's Pyramid Dongpayuk received 90 spoons.
The Hwa Ryong Jum Jung's
salt mountain grilled pork belly received 10 spoons.
The final result of both dishes combined,
is 115:85.
Hungry Wok won the competition.
We did it!
We won!
People probably had similar reactions to the dishes.
You're now...
the head chef of this hotel.
Thanks to you.
You worked so hard, Poong.
Thank you.
We won! We won!
[ Giant Hotel, Staff Only ]
This is the announcement from above.
From now on,
the head chef of Hwa Ryong Jum Jung is
Chef Seo Poong.
Your placement will be decided
by the new head chef, Seo Poong.
Please wait.
Sunbaenim.
You'll have to submit your resignation letter.
Why did you lose the lobster dish?
I failed at controlling the sodium level, so it was salty.
That's what happened.
Here.
Is this a gift?
Just because.
Wow, this is so pretty.
Wait.
- Can I wear this now? - Yes.
Put it on me.
Geez.
You do it.
What does this mean?
Does this mean, "Let's get married?"
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy? I don't want to get married either.
Does this mean "I love you?"
Just because.
Let's go and eat something. I'm hungry.
Don't change the subject.
I haven't eaten since last night.
On a day like today, you can just say "I love you."
Don't give a gift like this and say "Just because."
You looked so genuinely happy with your hyung.
Do you like Hyung that much?
No.
I feel strange to be with you in front of Hyung.
I feel sorry and guilty.
I'm a woman with lots of jealousy.
You like Hyung more than me, right?
You go back and forth, huh?
Of course,
I like you more.
That's what I'm saying. What does this mean?
Does this mean "Let's break up?"
- It's just because. - I'm hating this even more.
Let's go.
I'll let go because we won the competition.
If we lost,
I'd be at the jail where Bi Dak is and would've done something about it.
Now that he's been arrested,
he'll be in there for a long time
since he already has a record.
Good job.
This is a happy day. Should we listen to a song?
Na Hoon A's, "Macho Man."
This is my favorite song.
♫ I'm confused and hesitant ♫
♫ anxious and careful ♫
♫ not knowing for certain ♫
- Turn it off. - Love...
Okay.
♫ I think of you ♫
This is Na Hoon A's, "My Mother."
When the gum granny
finds out we won the competition,
and that you'll be the hotel CEO,
she'll be so happy.
Turn it off.
Yes, Hyungnim.
Wow, this soybean paste soup is so delicious.
I was kicked out from the hotel
saying that I'll revenge. And I became the head chef there today.
I never imagined eating soybean soup with a woman who asked me
to have an affair at the hotel lobby.
You asked me to get a room. So brave.
How could you suggest we have an affair?
What were you thinking?
Stop talking about it. I'm embarrassed.
I can never forget that.
You asking me to have an affair with you.
I still wake up in the middle of the night laughing about it.
I'm...
really thankful that you passed by me at the lobby
that day.
Me, too.
Congratulations on becoming the hotel head chef.
Thank you.
I'll be swamped from now on.
Won't have time to see you much.
Why is that?
I'll see you in the kitchen every day.
I'll work at the hotel kitchen.
- Will you work at the hotel kitchen, too? - Yeah.
I didn't know that you'd go with me.
I like the wok.
I want to learn properly in your kitchen, not in another kitchen.
You don't want to work together?
No, it's not that.
Wasn't it...
hard for you to come out today?
Is it because my skills are not
good enough to take me to the hotel kitchen?
She left a letter saying that she's traveling
but I can't contact her. No phone calls either.
No wonder, you were...
Will I be...
abandoned like this again?
How old are you? How can she abandon you? Geez...
[ Internal medicine ]
What kind of medicine is this?
There are so many...
It's odd that only the empty medicine packages are here.
Should I call here?
No.
I'll find out.
It's probably nothing.
She eats black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork so well.
She cusses well and is strong, too.
How did you...
I went to Hungry Wok and...
I heard.
Congratulations.
Let's go out and talk more comfortably. We can sit down.
Chef Poong, please stop seeing my daughter.
I...
truly love Sae Woo.
Isn't that...
enough?
Love?
The love that will only last
less than a year after the wedding?
My daughter...
needs love and money, too.
Money...
I'll make money.
Sae Woo's dad isn't here
and my situation is dire.
However, I'm not pleased with you.
Makes me wonder if you want my daughter because of my pathetic situation.
I feel awful and am so offended.
I feel sorry for Sae Woo who likes you.
I'll make...
lots of money.
Just give me a chance.
I'll be good to you, too, Mother.
You don't know...
what kind of person I am yet.
You're just not compatible with my family.
I can't approve of you.
So, please don't see my daughter.
Do you understand?
